Bernie Sanders. Worse than Isis?

In a lecture recently, Sanders stated that the U.S. was founded by racists or on racist principals.

With Obama, he was quoted as saying the Constitution was fundamentally flawed. He has certainly highlighted the weaknesses inherent in the
Constitution, or at least, the lack of application.

With Sanders, we have an outright attack/invalidation of the very idea of the U.S. and it's fundamentals. He attacks the 'idea' of the U.S.. This
permits, with those supporting him the right/obligation to totally change/ ignore that Constitution.

He is at war with the very fabric of the United States of America. Absolutely no different in that attack than Isis of extremist Islamists. In Islam,
which translates into the English word 'submit' the concept of free choice, democracy or a representative gov't is in direct opposition to the tenets
of Islam.

Again, war with the 'idea'.

While the motivation is different, the war Sanders, et al, are proposing is also a war with the idea that is the U.S.. Zero difference in goal or
intended result.

While slavery existed at the time of the Constitution, so did every other sin/crime/ insanity that's been documented by mankind. Murder, rape greed,
the whole litany of man's ills existed at the time. As it did during the formation of Magna Carta, the golden age of Greece, and every time a major
advancement took place in our history.

In fact, having those flaws pointed out makes the very development of these advancements even more profound. They rose above the commonality of
mankind and reached new levels. DESPITE THEIR INDIVIDUAL ISSUES. Simply amazing.

In our wars, no nation ever wanted the U.S. as a concept destroyed or erased from history...until now... Islamic extremism and now the 'coming out' of
the Sanders gambit. Destroy the idea. Kind of makes sense when the trend of Islamic appeasement of this administration and the 'marginalizing' of
Christianity and it's tenets. Destruction of the U.S., in it's present form, and some idyllic utopia rising from the ashes.

This man, as President, has the potential to make Obama look like a saint!!

He needs to be fought in the arena of ideas until thoroughly defeated.

Edit. I found the You Tube video of Sanders speech for those that are interested. I haven't yet listened to it. I wanted to get it out first.

I disagree with most of what you're saying and especially the premise that Obama was a bad president. However, Sanders is better than Clinton and
just about everyone on the right. I would daresay everyone on the right? I'm still undecided if I trust Paul, I like Carson, but he seems to be very
anti science and although, on the surface it would appear that a man speaking his mind is a good thing, concerning Trump, the president of the United
States needs to have some diplomacy. I'm not sure Trump has any, he reminds of of that little guy that leads North Korea. LOL

And now you see why I don't take you and other extreme rightwingers seriously. You literally don't know what you're talking about.

You're comparing a man who wants universal healthcare for all Americans to a group that enslaves Kurdish women & teaches boys how to decapitate
people. And the worse part is apparently these are valid comparisons for you.

Please Bernie is nothing compared to the Evangelical Christians who want to force their own version of Sharia on this nation. So if you want to whine
about people acting like ISIS then look no further than the Evangelicals in our government. If anything Bernie wants the Constitution to be upheld
where others want to ignore it.

Founded by racists, huh? LOL! So, did you hear the whole question/answer? Or did you just hear that soundbite? And do you disagree with him?

I don't know... Maybe you need a history lesson:

Legally or socially sanctioned privileges and rights were given to White Americans that were not granted to Native Americans, African Americans, Asian
Americans, and Latin Americans. European Americans (particularly Anglo Americans) were granted in matters of education, immigration, voting rights,
citizenship, land acquisition, and criminal procedure over periods of time extending from the 17th century to the 1960s. However, non-Protestant
immigrants from Europe; particularly Jews, Irish people, Poles and Italians, suffered xenophobic exclusion and other forms of ethnicity-based
discrimination in American society, and were not considered fully white.

Our soldiers died to protect the 'idea' that the U.S. is. You can't kill the 'idea' by killing people...or soldiers.

Hate to break it to you but it's been decades since a soldier died for America. Now they die fighting for resources the corporations that own our
government wants. As Gen Butler said I didn't fight for America I fought for the united fruit company.

It is a stretch and it isn't. Look at all the other Great Societies that were founded in the ideas of Marx and went really, really wrong deciding that
removing inconvenient portions of their population would be part of their five year solutions.

Well I guess since one thing that Bernie does not have as a fault is dishonesty, someone should ask him his position on the COTUS and Bill of Rights
and the individual rights and freedoms outlined therein as well as the duty of the CIC to uphold it.
